Every design that weve had in a magazine featuring Lucite has been a huge hit with our clients and Lucite fans. And of course, we always love seeing what other beaders and designers create with our Lucite beads.
Lucite is a form of thermal plastic. Thermal form plastic pellets are heated to a melting temperature and injected into a mold making the final shape. Thermal form plastic can be heated again and then reshaped in a mold, to make another item, which makes Lucite a recyclable material.
